All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This isnt the worst film that I've ever watched, which is about as high as my praise is going to get.The set-up creates a little bit of tension, and triggers a mild sense of light curiosity, but the main reason i bothered watching to the end was the hope that i would get to see every last one of the awful characters die.There's little that the film does particularly well. There is only one character who i found myself liking at any point, and they're uncerimoniously dispatched without much fuss. The script isnt bad per se, it just seems a bit half-arsed and under developed - which in turn makes the characters fairly half-arsed and under developed.All in all, the sort of film you 'leave on' rather than 'put on'.

It looked a bit inconsistent. Some killings were shot pretty badly. The landscapes looked amazing and some of the movement was divine. Mostly quite subtle sound design and lovely with some great music and surround/bass well used. I would watch this again but it was not what I was expecting. It did not have suspense or supernatural. It was like Eden Lake (2008) but nowhere near as harrowing. The girl from Sugar Rush was not right for this at all. Otherwise the acting was good. Overall too inconsistent to recommend.

The plot: After a youth offender is driven to suicide from bullying, his bunkmates are forced to go on a team-building exercise on an isolated island. However, they soon discover that they're not alone.Wilderness is a pretty obvious mash-up of themes borrowed from various sources: the island location, lack of adult supervision, and sadistic bullying of Lord of the Flies; the man vs man conflict of The Most Dangerous Game, as well as its hunter antagonist and island location; the revenge setup of Friday the 13th and countless other slashers; the survival horror of Deliverance; and "Broken Britain" thrillers about despicable, violent youths. There are also hints of other slasher and survival horror films, but, unlike some reviewers, I think Dog Soldiers and Battle Royale are kind of stretching it. So, obviously, the themes are not unique, and they have been dealt with in other media extensively. What makes this film worth watching? For me, it wasn't the plot, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.I'm not a big fan of teenage slashers. I got my fill back in the 1980s, and Scream did nothing to reinvigorate the genre for me. However, I liked the director's previous film, Deathwatch, and I'll never turn down an opportunity to watch Sean Pertwee in a low budget horror film. The cast ended up surprising me, because I thought some of them did a good job. The characterization was at times a bit minimalist, but it was put the good use. Steve, the main antagonist among the teens, was thoroughly despicable and the sort of character that you love to hate. He was played to perfection as a violent coward, and it's difficult to imagine how this film would have been memorable in any way without him. Unlike Deathwatch, the pacing is fairly brisk, and the writing is straightforward. The gore is, at times, comically gratuitous, but it avoids devolving into the torture porn that sometimes accompanies post-Saw survival horror (such as Rest Stop). Still, there are a few good SFX scenes that might stick with you for a day or two.Overall, it's a fairly enjoyable example of teenage survival horror, but it doesn't really pretend to be anything more than that. There are some interesting ideas about revenge vs justice, punishment vs rehabilitation, and the culpability of authority figures in teenage bullying, but none of them are given nearly as much attention as the melodramatic teenage drama. The gore might be too infrequent to satisfy true gorehounds, yet excessive enough to alienate some squeamish viewers. If none of this scares you off, I suggest you give this film a chance. It's not great, but it's enjoyable enough.

Here we have a bunch of obnoxious teenagers getting brutally murdered by a revenging father. No problem there - had they all been killed in the first 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the viewer has to suffer the most appalling acting I've seen outside infant school, dodgy camera work, naive direction, and a dreadful sound track.The emotions portrayed by this motley bunch of acting school drop-outs range from constipation to hysteria, with little inbetween. Had I been producing this movie I would have left the entire cast and crew on the island, along with some wolves and bears, thus doing the film industry a tremendous service.Sean Pertwee reprisals his role in Dog Soldiers by putting himself on the canine menu once again, and Alex Reid plays the tough guy, though I think she's a girl. Not much else to say, really.
